Don’t Use Public Wi-Fi Without DNS Filtering

February 15, 2022 Leave a Comment

With public Wi-Fi becoming more and more standard in today’s society, providing public Wi-Fi is a premium service for your customers. According to recent statistics, there are about 410,000 public Wi-Fi hotspots in the United States alone, located in public places such as parks, libraries, public transportation, train stations, etc. Public Wi-Fi has become an integral part of modern life.

While public Wi-Fi has to offer many benefits, when users use public Wi-Fi, it means that users may be vulnerable to many cyber threats, such as malware, viruses, hacking, and other forms of intrusion. It also provides opportunities for cybercriminals to commit virtual crimes and harm internet users. However, having a solid DNS filtering service can stop cyber threats like malware, ransomware, phishing, and botnets before they reach network devices. Also, DNS can filter out unwanted content such as pornographic material, violence, and drug-related content.
